Europe is complicit in its own demise
The Russian government has finally realized that it has no Western
“partners,” and is complaining bitterly about the propagandistic lies
and disinformation issued without any evidence whatsoever against the
Russian government by Washington, its European vassals, and presstitute
media.
Perhaps the Russian government thought that only Iraq, Libya, Syria,
China, and Edward Snowden would be subjected to Washington’s lies and
demonization.
It was obvious enough that Russia would be next.
The Russian government and Europe need to look beyond Washington’s propaganda, because the reality is much worst.
NATO commander General Breedlove and Senate bill 2277 clearly
indicate that Washington is organizing itself and Europe for war against
Russia (see my previously posted column).
Europe is reluctant to agree with Washington to put Ukraine in NATO.
Europeans understand that if Washington or its stooges in Kiev cause a
war with Russia Europe will be the first casualty. Washington finds its
vassals’ noncompliance tiresome. Remember Assistant Secretary of State
Victoria Nuland’s “fuck the EU.” And that is just what Washington is
about to do.
The US Senate’s Russian Aggression Prevention Act, about which I
reported in my previous column, does even more mischief than I reported.
If the bill passes, which it likely will, Washington becomes empowered
to bypass NATO and to grant the status of “allied nation” to Ukraine
independently of NATO membership. By so doing, Washington can send
troops to Ukraine and thereby commit NATO to a war with Russia.
Notice how quickly Washington escalated the orchestrated Ukrainian
“crisis” without any evidence into “Russian aggression.” Overnight we
have the NATO commander and US senators taking actions against “Russian
aggression” of which no one has seen any evidence.
With Iraq, Libya, and Syria, Washington learned that Washington could
act on the basis of baldfaced lies. No one, not Great Britain, not
France, not Germany, not Italy, not the Netherlands, not Canada, not
Australia, not Mexico, not New Zealand, not Israel, nor Japan, nor S.
Korea, nor Taiwan, nor (substitute your selection) stepped forward to
hold Washington accountable for its blatant lies and war crimes. The UN
even accepted the package of blatant and obviously transparent lies that
Colin Powell delivered to the UN. Everything Powell said had already
been refuted by the UN’s own weapons inspectors. Yet the UN pussies gave
the go-ahead for a devastating war.
The only conclusion is that all the whores were paid off. The whores
can always count on Washington paying them off. For money the whores
are selling out civilization to Washington’s war, which likely will be
nuclear and terminate life on earth. The whores’ money will incinerate
with them.
It is hardly surprising that Washington now targets Russia. The
world has given Washington carte blanche to do as it pleases. We have
now had three administrations of US war criminals welcomed and honored
wherever the war criminals go. The other governments in the world
continue to desire invitations to the White House as indications of
their worth. To be received by war criminals has become the highest
honor.
Even the president of China comes to Washington to receive acceptance by the Evil Empire.
The world did not notice Washington’s war crimes against Serbia and
didn’t puke when Washington then put the Serbian president, who had
tried to prevent his country from being torn apart by Washington, on
trial as a war criminal.
The world has made no effort to hold Washington responsible for its
destruction of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syria and Gaza. The
world has not demanded that Washington stop murdering people in Pakistan
and Yemen, countries with which Washington is not at war. The world
looks the other way as Washington creates the US Africa Command. The
world looks the other way as Washington sends deadly weapons to Israel
with which to murder women and children in the Gaza Ghetto. Washington
passes Senate and House Resolutions cheering on the Israeli murder of
Palestinians.
Washington is accustomed to its free pass, granted by the world, to murder and to lie, and now is using it against Russia.
Russian President Putin’s bet that by responding to Washington’s
aggression in Ukraine in a unprovocative and reasonable manner would
demonstrate to Europe that Russia was not the source of the problem has
not payed off. European countries are captive nations. They are
incapable of thinking and acting for themselves. They bend to
Washington’s will. Essentially, Europe is a nonentity that follows
Washington’s orders.
If the Russian government hopes to prevent war with Washington, which
is likely to be the final war for life on earth, the Russian government
needs to act now and end the problem in Ukraine by accepting the
separatist provinces’ request to be reunited with Russia. Once S.2277
passes, Russia cannot retrieve the situation without confronting
militarily the US, because Ukraine will have been declared an American
ally.
Putin’s bet was reasonable and responsible, but Europe has failed
him. If Putin does not use Russian power to bring an end to the problem
with which Washington has presented him in Ukraine while he still can,
Washington’s next step will be to unleash its hundreds of NGOs inside
Russia to denounce Putin as a traitor for abandoning the Russian
populations in the former Russian provinces that Soviet leaders
thoughtlessly attached to Ukraine.
The problem with being a leader is that you inherit festering
problems left by previous leaders. Putin has the problems bequeathed by
Yeltsin. Yeltsin was a disaster for Russia. Yeltsin was Washington’s
puppet. It is not certain that Russia will survive Yeltsin’s mistakes.
If Washington has its way, Russia will survive only as an American puppet state.
In a previous column I described the article in Foreign Affairs, the
journal of the Washington foreign policy community, that makes a case
that the US has such strategic advantage over Russia at this time that a
“window of opportunity” exists for the US to remove Russia as a
restraint on US hegemony with a preemptive nuclear attack.
It is almost certain that Obama is being told that President John F.
Kennedy had this window of opportunity and did not use it, and that
Obama must not let the opportunity pass a second time.
As Stephen Starr explained in a guest column, there are no winners of
nuclear war. Even if the US escapes retaliatory strikes, everyone will
die regardless.
The view in Washington of the neoconservatives, who control the Obama
regime, is that nuclear war is winnable. No expert opinion supports
their assumption, but the neocons, not the experts, are in power,
The American people are out to lunch. They have no comprehension of
their likely fate. Americans are an uninformed people distracted by
their mounting personal and financial problems. If Europeans are aware,
they have decided to live for the moment on Washington’s money.
What life is faced with is a drive for hegemony on the part of
Washington and ignorant unconcern on the part of the rest of the world.
Americans, worked into a lather about Washington’s unfunded
liabilities and the viability of their future Social Security pension,
won’t be alive to collect it.
